Summary: Consistency, Versatility, Excellence,Dickey!
Review: There are some authors that make us laugh, there are some that make us dream. There are some that inspire us to be more than we are, but there are the few that enable us to feel. We have watched Dickey's writing style transform and though at times I have tried to label his style, try to place him in a specific category, he continues to push the envelope and remain outside the box. For any of you that have stumbled upon my reviews, you will notice that I never discuss the story. I often discuss the author's ability to reach his readers. His ability to transfix us to another space and time, his ability to make us feel, his ability to evoke thought and passion. Dickey's The Other Woman has accomplished all these things on so many levels that for me to begin to express to you all how great a read this novel is just won't be enough. You must experience the Dickey experience. The day I received the book the same day I completed the book. Grab yourself a copy today, you will not be disappointed!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hard to put down!
Review: The interweaving of characters from previous books is a stroke of genius. The primary message of communicating with your mate is paramount. Once again EJD has come through for his loyal readers. The book starts off at a torrid pace and ends with a bang (literally!). Way to represent North Carolina throughout the book. His ability to paint painstakingly accurate portraits of his characters sans names is remarkable. The Other Woman is a must read for any couple that intends on making it "last forever".

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's ok
Review: I have all of E.J.D's books, and I loved most of them like Milk in My Coffee, and Friends and Lovers. This isn't his best, but I like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best from the best
Review: EJD proved to me that he could get even better than BETWEEN LOVERS, his best novel to date in my estimation, by doing it with THE OTHER WOMAN.

This is a must read for all people in any type of relationship. Period. A fascinating, searing, sexy, straight up, realistic view of love, marriage, infidelity, and their unshakeable ramifications.

Quite simply, a masterpiece.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Raising The Bar...
Review: As a fellow male author, I find myself reading some of my peers books. Not necessarily for pleasure, but to study. My motto is that in order to be one of the best (There's plenty out there for all of us to share the mantle) you have to read the best.

Having said that, I picked up this novel, for I heard so much about it. And I couldn't put it down. The remarkable thing this novel to me was Eric's amazing ability to write it as if he were a woman, especially the love scenes. Utilizing a stacatto rhythm, the erotically crisp style in which he described the bizarre joinder of Freckles and DL was nothing short of outstanding. I found myself thinking of the how I too utilized the IM dialogue in the forthcoming Sistergirls.com Anthology, and how it had to be perfect; and how he accomplished that with the clandestine chats of infidelty.

The plot, however... I found to be predictble, as after the scorching middle, I found myself saying the story, though orchestrated by a man, drifted back to another sistergirl book. This is not to say that I did not enjoy the ending, which delivers a telling message. But by admission, I found myself thinking about a mixture of the movies UNFAITHFUL and FATAL ATTRACTION upon its conclusion. That's the only reason why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5.

Eric, you did a great job with this story, man. A brotha gotta give you props. You have raised the bar with this one, dawg. I only hope up and coming scribes like myself can match your excellence. Now, I gotta get back to my final rewrite.

Summary: This is Eric Jerome Dickey's best book
Review: I have read all of EJD's books. This is the best one yet.

In this book you are introduced to Freckles and she is married to Charles. Freckles has a very demanding career whereas Charles is a school teacher whose job is not quite as demanding. In Freckles mind everything in marriage seems to be ok until she meets Charles.

Charles informs Freckles that her husband is having an affair with his wife. After learing this information and then confirming it with Charles, Freckles loses the stability she thought she had in her marriage.

I found it amazing that even though Charles cheated he still tried to blame it on his wife.

This is one of the best books that I have read this year.

Buy it you won't be disappointed.

Summary: EJD at his best!
Review: EJD you've done it again! What a great read. The characters were people who I could relate to and the ending was totally unexpected. Thanks for all of the great books. Looking forward
to the next one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The EJD I know is Back!!!
Review: This book was a great read. Each chapter had me looking forward to more lies and decit. One cheating husband lead to sleepless nights, wrecked cars, lost of jobs and ultimately death. This is one of his best.

I read this book in less than a day and I can't wait to read his next book to find out what happened to the characters. ( you know he has a habit of telling you about previous characters).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Strictly Dickey
Review: I was not a fan at all of EJD's last book, Thieves Paradise. The entire concept of the tale was lame, the plot was weak, the characters were uninteresting, and the overall writing just did not hold my attention.

EJD has done a complete 360! I applaud his latest effort. The writing was brilliant. The wording was almost poetic. He amazingly and effortlessly succeeded at writing first person using a woman protagonist. Yvette was the perfect supporting character. Any sista could use a friend like her. Eric Jerome Dickey knows women, he knows sensuality, he knows romance, he knows drama, and he is the voice of all scorned brothas. Hear him roar in this tale of a beautiful marriage of two successful individuals that turned sour almost overnight in the blink of an eye. Following "Freckles" through her journey of happiness, heartbreak, pain, agony, contempt, fulfillment, and self-discovery opened my eyes. The ending left me speechless. Anyone who says this book was "predictable" must have been "the other woman" at some point....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: This is Eric Jerome Dickey's best book. The emotional and psychological suspense this book provides, as well as the ability to leave one thinking about one's life and relationships, makes this book an excellent creation. If you ever wanted to know about the intricacies as well as the devastion of an affair, read this book.
